sfJaly Tax sale"
E&ssrs Nsridsaa: have just seen In The
7;sHsAassssan Of The 2sth, the communicates Of
Judge Rippey On The Fourth Of Jsy Tan Sss.
upon which the editor Of that psper makes .
brief comment, and says "he would be glad 10
hear from the Comptroller on the subject" A
the 7slaAassasan does not appear again before
the 4th of July, desire to say through your
columns that the question discussed by Judge
Rippey was under consideration in 1881. when
many tax sales occurred on the 4th Of July. IS
they will in several counties this year, and the
conclusion was reached then that the sale was
legal one and have seen no good reason since
to change that opinion. A. your paper goes te

ode on the osnsrsvills Band.
By IT'S LEADER.

BY ITS LEADER.
Hurrah for the Centreville Band
Long may those musicians stand
A happy and festive crowd,
And blow their brass horns loud.
First, Spangler with his Solo "E"
The leader is, tits plain to see;
While Tommy on the fst Bb cornet,
Helps Spangler out sometimes you bet
Limbo on tho BIB blows,
AS well as sometimes blows his nose;
And when dressed up in suit Of blue,
He blows his horn both loud and true.
Young Krebbs on the BIB blows,
With lips pressed out like double o.,
Brings forth the most enchanting
strains,
That almost crack the window panes.
Prof. Butler on the other n,
Blows strains of sweetest melody;
And Buster with his Alto horn,
Blows after boats from eve till morn.
Young Lyons next to Buster sits,
And gives the alto trombone fits.
While Patrick NJ, from Weirikstown,
Is holding the LIST alto down.
Henry Now on n BIB trumbone,
Tries hard to make his presence
known;
Whild Jub from India's Corel Strand,
With baritone is right on hand.
On deep toned tuba Hendricks blows
And by his execution shows
That though he is but Il begun er,
Aud blows like I'm old Turkish sinner.
Next Dutchy on the tenor drum,
With rapid movements makes it hum,
While Cap. with his bass drum stick,
Rains blows on calf-skiu fast and
thick.
Neither last nor least comes basso
Elick,
And the property man we must not
slide,
With many n flourish OF notes so slick,
Sends forth the impression the town
| is sick.
There are others to many to enumer-
ate,
From this and every other state.
And G. +. s., all know him we'll
He often gives the band boys HI.
We hope they'll not from duty swerve
Fhoy don't got half what they de
serve;
And when to a neighboring to VII they
go,
'Tweuld knock you silly to hear them
| blow.

From tho Lewistown Dem. d. Sent.
Middleburgh is q handsome little
country town when in repose, and SO
we found it on Monday on q visit to
that place. But for all its quietness
we found q number OF clever and
agreeable citizens, and we secur.
ed an excellent dinner good wailies
included, of course) at Charley
Smiths Central Hotel. The only re-
ally industrious man we saw was T.J.
Smith, Esq, who was serving a writ
of ejectment on tho weeds in his po-
tato patch. Tom. Harter OF the
PosT, was nursing his one pedal ex
tremity, having contracted poison
while out on the hunt for big shake
and fish stories. With his character
istic courtesy he granted us the use OF
his best arm chair to rest in and his
vacant shoe for spittoon. We neg
lected to pay a visit to the pride OF
the place, the new Jail, but its mas
sive and handsome exterior indicated
that,it Is u model structure OF its kind.
We were cheered, however, by meet
ing a genuine Democratic post-lnas,
ter, DIR. Barber, who is one of the
most genial and live men of the place

THE YEAR 1887 WHICH Is JUST ABOUT
closing has been an unusually successful
period to the business inte rests of this
borough; 1t has witnessed the locating here
of two new industries, the Hersh Heater
Works ard Durling & Mitchell's Spring
Works, as well as the enlargement of the
Lehigh stove foundry. Many new and
substantial buildings have been erected and
numerous other necessary improvements
have been made by our wide-awake and
progressive townspeople which have very
materially advanced the interests of all.
Up to within week or so ago, the Packer
ton car shops furnished steady work to our
laboring people, at wages which afforded
fair living and allowed the storing away
of 'little something" for rainy day.
With the closing of 1887 the people of this
thriYing borough can look with qualification
upon the successes that have visited us in
diyidnally and collectively, and at the same
time prepare to launch cut into the new
year of 1888 with the determination that
before the new year closes, first-class
water supply will be among the new i'm
provements. Along the Lehigh Valley
there is no town better facilitated for man
ufscturing purposes than is Lehighton, and
1t is only a question of renewed exertion on
the part of our capitalists to place this bor-
ough foremost among all the towns in this
section of the Valley. Let each and every
one put his or her shoulder TO the wheel
and push, and future success is assured.

interest the pages of "Watt Stephens, the Geni-
us OF Steam" Qss5), "Voltagal, the Genius OF
Electricity" usS6), and "Petroleum and Natural
Gas" uss7, will be pleased to know that the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway will
issue another magnificent souvenir for the Christ
mas and New Year season of 1888, which snr-
passes in many respects, anything of the kind
heretofore published. "COal and Coke" is the
tiIle of the new work, ana the subject has been
exhaustively treated. 1t is written in captivat-
ing colloquial style, embodying vast amount tf
information in regard to coal strata, their rela-
tive position in the earth's crust; where deposits
Oecur,-thelr nature aud extent; the different
processes of underground mining; how coal is
converted into coke. and some of Its varied and
multiple uses.
The book is profusely Illustrated from original
sketches. Although the expense has been very
great, the Rock Island has concluded to supply
"Coal and Coke" at the nominal rate of ten
cents (for POSTAGE per copy. Enclose your ad-
dress plainly written talso ten cents in stamps,
